First-class researchers are much sought after in academia and by commercial and third sector organisations who want to gain an edge in their marketplace. But this can be a hard field to break into. In this course, you will develop advanced research skills that are transferrable to almost any field. You will also learn how to apply your research techniques to real-world problems to make you more valuable to prospective employers.
In the Research Methods module, you will develop advanced research and analytical skills. The module on Communicating Research is important in a different way. Here you will learn to think about how your research will be read, used, and applied in the real world. Your approach will move beyond ‘how do I do this piece of research?’ to ‘what can this research do for people?’
With this thorough grounding in research techniques and their relevance, you will move on to complete your own Research Project. This is done in two parts - firstly you will study and investigate the research area in depth and design a research programme to address your key questions. Then you will write it up in the format most useful in your field. This could be a research paper, a consultancy report, or a briefing paper. Whatever form it takes, your Project is a major piece of work and is your chance to show the academic, scientific or commercial world exactly what you can do.
